Solar farms need a lot of space, typically 25 acres of land for every 5 megawatts so if you own a large parcel of land, we’d love to hear from you. Additional space for equipment such as inverters and storage batteries is required too, and ideally the land would already be connected to the grid although that is not essential.
Being relatively close to an existing site can be a massive benefit if you want a solar farm on your land. This is a minor point of consideration for landowners, as the responsibility for securing planning permission lies with the developer.
In the three regions, a large part of the total built-up area (urban and solar land) will consist of solar PV panels or CSP heliostats by 2050 if at least half of the produced electricity comes from solar power. Land for solar would amount to over 50% of the current EU urban land, over 85% for India, and over 75% in Japan and South-Korea.
As with most wind power projects, developers only place solar farms on land that meets certain conditions. The land should be sturdy for solar projects and not fall foul to sinking from soft soil. But it’s also essential to consider the landscape for a site, as solar projects are particularly reliant on flat land without steep slopes.
The installation of solar panels and equipment on residential buildings and land may be 'permitted development' with no need to apply to the local authority for planning permission. There are, however, important limits and conditions, detailed on the following pages, which must be met to benefit from these permitted development rights.
The land should be sturdy for solar projects and not fall foul to sinking from soft soil. But it’s also essential to consider the landscape for a site, as solar projects are particularly reliant on flat land without steep slopes. Any more than 5% is typically considered less than ideal when it comes to sloping.
